Thanks for your reply.
But it seems it's not possible to have two default routes with
different hopcounts.
I have a default route to gw1.
If I try
route add default gw2 -hopcount 5
I get
writing to routing socket: File exists
add net default: gateway gw2: File exists
Is there something more to consider?
Or is it not allowed to have two default routes with different
hopcounts?
